Cooperative Research

Cooperative Research

PIFG supports research programs that rely on active fishermen participation. These programs build relationships between the fishing community and fishery scientist and mangers.

They help fishermen better understand fishery management and conservation programs, processes and goals. Cooperative research include angler based tagging, gear development or modification and collecting samples for scientific studies.

Under the Cooperative Research Program (CRP) PIFG facilitates involvement of commercial and recreational fishermen in the collection of fundamental scientific

fisheries information to support assessment of fishery resources, development and evaluation of management and regulatory regimes.
